For Those Discerning Their Vocation
God speaks to us in the depths of our hearts, calling us to a life of joy, service, and love. Inspired by the example of St. Faustina, who surrendered her life to Divine Mercy, we invite you to embark on a journey of discernment.
Steps for Discernment
- Prayer- To hear God's call clearly, you'll need a committed prayer life that includes listening for God in silence.
- Openness- God reveals His will to those who are ready to listen with an open heart.
- Accompaniment- Discernment was never meant to be done alone.

“Vocation” means “call.” As Catholics, we believe God calls individuals to fulfill certain roles in the Church, both for their own holiness and the good of the entire Body of Christ.
Holiness is Our Common Goal
Holiness is everyone’s primary vocation. Holiness means trying to be like Jesus. It means being a “whole” person: striving for virtue, avoiding sin, and living a life of love.After the decision to follow Christ and seriously pursue holiness, your vocation is the most important decision in life.
Holy Marriage
Most people are called to marriage—to wholeheartedly love their spouses and to joyfully welcome children. The purpose of marriage is for a man and woman to help each other get to heaven, and to teach their children to do the same. Like any vocation, marriage must be discerned, not assumed.Consecrated Life
Both men and women can join religious orders such as the Franciscans, Dominicans, Benedictines, etc. The life and work of religious orders varies greatly—some are primarily devoted to prayer; others work actively in schools, hospitals, orphanages, etc. Common to all religious orders are the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience.Priesthood
Priests bring Jesus to people and people to Jesus through preaching and the sacraments. Priests are very active as they counsel people, teach classes, prepare homilies, administer parishes, and much more. Many surveys show that priests are among the happiest people in the world! Deacons, too, share in the sacrament of Holy Orders.
